A new opening trap?

@h2b2 I had originally gotten this line through 1. e4 c6 2. d4 d5 3. Nf3, a Caro-Kann line.

This is similiar to this trap.


However both traps are pretty bad as they can be refuted by a easy developing move.

Thats like the most well known opening trap on the face of the earth. Any 600 rated chump could show you that trap.

@Steven-ODonoghue There aren't any checkmates here.

A good trap is a trap that does not lose if the opponent does not fall into it.

@Tihun I meant trap not mate, edited.

@tpr "A good trap is a trap that does not lose if the opponent does not fall into it." Yet people consider the Halosar trap as "good" (or at least it is highly considered in chess) but not this one? How ironic!

This Halosar trap is not good either: if black does not fall for it, then he wins.

Thanks for mentioning my "favourite" trap, dear @Tihun - there are so many ways to misstep as black in caro :0
That is the one I keep forgetting, I got there at least 3 times in blitz recently. :<
In the example below after making a natural developing move, not even after ...h6 :(

Sorry, but I think your comment is very rude. You just offended all 600-rated players.
Blunders are universal. It does not matter how high you get, you will always make mistakes about which you think they are not acceptable for your current playing level.
It is something to laugh about and not to worry, sheeet happens to everyone :-)

That is an example of a good trap. 5...Nf6 is a natural move. Even if black finds 5...Qc7 then white is not lost. Even strong players fall into that one
